    Okay I just installed the benchmark. Took a little while longer to dl than I expected. No worries.

    Will try a bench run soon on the new AMD 10.10 mobility drivers.

    Cheers. :)

    Cool Chiefs. Sounds good. Would be nice to see some numbers from slightly older but by no means slow systems.

    Hey there chiefs,

    double check your pics are smaller than 1mb. I normally have to resize mine. Its quite annoying. However now I just use FRAPs to take all my in game bench pics. Works a treat and they are normally below 200kb each.

    So I normally just hit the manage attachments down below and then browse for my pics fill up the boxes and then hit the upload; wait for them all to upload then hit close at the bottom. Then I just hit submit at the bottom of my message page. I figure that your doing the exact same process?
    If so just double check the size of your pics.

    Cheers. :)

    Ah trues true. Looks like you have hit the limit oles. The avg fps actually went down slightly oles.

    Looks like your scores will be king though unless someone comes along with a 940XM perhaps and some insane GPU OCs as well olessss :p :p :p ;) ;) ;) :D
    Any takers LOL????

    Hey there chiefs. I encountered the same problem about enabling the DX 11 tessellation option. You need to go into the ubisoft folder where the benchmark is installed and then run the DX 11 exe version. Then once inside you will be able to enable the DX 11 option.

    Cheers. :)

    Yeh Chiefs I have seen some fps drop as well in BCF2. Other games seem to be working fine if not better though.

    Which ones are performing worse for you?

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/527615-amd-10-10-reference-driver-discussion.html

    Be sure to post up your benchmark results chief oles.
